I bought some Mechanix knee pads - figured if they were good enough for racing....

Anyway - easy on velcro, portable, although a little sweaty after a while on the back of the leg. Also, don't know how they would wear heavy in the long term - I only used them one or two times and that was indoors.

Sorry I don't have more info.

I'm on "The List" and I love it!!

Part of the reason I am asking is I blew out one knee a few years ago and keeling is very difficult, and my "good" Knee is not much better than the one I blew out. and I have great difficulty getting around on a floor,

I need some thing better than the standard "occasional use pad" as they are not as much help, as I need.

but cost is an issue, but if I could get back to working again (as currently I an semi retired from building do to the knees), It would be worth some investment in equipment.

but would like to hear some personal recommendations.

I don't have knee problems yet, but I did have a few times I was in terrible pain from working on concrete, crawling around in my van, and putting my knee on a few stones.

I began looking at knee pads and tried a few types. I didn't want to strap on and off knee pads. I always forgot I had them off and put my knee right on that bolt of the van bed. I also did not like the appearance knee pads gave my customers since I am in service.

I would ask a tile guy what he uses. I think that trade works on there knees more than anyone. I use a foam mat. I find that little rocks will get trapped between the kneepads and my knee causing me more aggrivation. I also like the foam mat because I can lie down on it when in a crawl space.
